They can be introduced in the near future for interference in the elections in the US in 2016. On Wednesday, February 14, at the hearings in the Senate on the budget, said the US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. According to him, his department intends to discuss this issue at a closed briefing with bankers.

He will personally provide them with classified information. At the same time, Munchin did not name the exact terms for the imposition of new sanctions.

Recall, a group of members of the US Senate, which represents the Democratic Party, prepared a draft resolution demanding the introduction of sanctions against the defendants of the so-called "Kremlin list". In the text of the resolution, Russia was accused of undermining democratic processes in Ukraine, supporting the government of Syria, as well as in attempts to interfere in the domestic policy of the United States and Europe.

Senators offer to expand sanctions against Russia, taking into account the information contained in the "Kremlin report".

As reported URA-Inform, the Ministry of Finance of the United States of America is preparing sanctions against Russia. They will be linked to the so-called "Kremlin list" published in late January,. On Tuesday, February 6, the head of the department Stephen Mnuchin said, responding to a question from member of the House of Representatives from the Democratic Party Maxine Waters.
